Living in a small village has lots of perks but I’ll often crave some big city energy. So, hopping on a train to Glasgow, I planned to pack in as much music and art as I could for three days. Heading straight from the train to the solo show of my fave Scottish artist, Peter Howson, in Ayr (which is close to where he was born), felt like a once in a lifetime experience. Very intense work, often dark, and at least four full rooms. Very inspiring – and intimidating. His unrelenting drive to constantly create is staggering. Wish I could’ve taken pictures.
Lots of wandering the streets the next day looking for visual treasures, more gallery visits, then a beautiful concert by James Blake in the evening. Definitely needed that infusion of creative energy.
